Facebook and privacy


Talk a lot has been created recently in the context of the privacy and Facebook. Many reports indicate that the latest updates to the privacy of the do not allow as much as possible, and "like" buttons on the network flooding and infiltration that Facebook is going to somehow change the browsing experience. On Facebook is stripping operations off its general concerns and forcing them to share, they may not want to. But if you can take a look at the privacy settings, it is clear that Facebook users, however, in fact, have control over the majority of privacy settings.

Public reaction began to direct towards in the negative, when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, expressed in his believes that public knowledge sharing is a new social norm in January of this year. This was the default user profile picture, sex, current city, networks, friends list, and the page orders in support of public information about the decided.These changes meant that the people who did not want this information to the public was manually privacy options labyrinth browse and change separately. Backlash was quite strong, but later changes added fuel to the fire.

Facebook is the F8 Conference last week, Zuckerberg make another wave of "like" buttons, public information and the dissemination of partnerships in the external sites.He discussed the change is a "fan" something "recalled" something as it is designed to facilitate the elect, attractive and, in addition to the universal tactic. "-" buttons now show the sites online, providing users the ability to publish content to their Facebook News feed without leaving the page ever they browse. By default, this "do not much like" content appears all but in the event of a change in your privacy settings.

More ominous changes loom Facebook's list of new policies in the field of education, employment and benefits in the form. If you are not logged into Facebook recently, likely to be seen as a pop-up asking if you want to your profile pages list proposed. Facebook has disabled, users can manually type the interests or type of employment or school information without also "recalled" the corresponding page.This can be avoided by checking the discreetly placed in the "choose the pages separately" from the bottom left of the button, but again the lack of clarity has caused many users to join without being aware of the pages and groups. If you do not want to make do not much like pages, go to "Account" tab, select the "privacy settings," then "friends, tags, and relationships" and check the corresponding regulations.

All changes to the Facebook is an important question is not so much things that change as the methods by which Facebook shall state the reasons on which they and their implementation. Twitter has been a consistent information privacy standards, even though Facebook's has been amended on several occasions, is this inconsistency, which shows the duplicitous, because the changes are often unexpectedly or warning or very little.

Facebook for the average user will still find it difficult to manage privacy.Advanced and power users, such changes can be actually gift transport and exposure, but only because they are understood and properly adjusted.Users drive clicks, comments, and is the company's current revenue stream, the vertebral column, so it is no surprise that Zuckerberg does not believe privacy targeted ads across the Web.Privacy is something that Facebook is concerned, because it is, not that it wants to, so it follows, why they are not in accordance with the privacy of the members.The underlying reality, they are always the same in order to maintain controls on their privacy policy to users.

The best thing to do is hip changes and keep awareness of how they might affect your personal information. using all means at their disposal, if you have made your own and doubts still and then take on the role of mantra "does not click, comment, post, distribute, etc unless you are nice to see it with the whole world."Even if the public can have a new social norm, it does not determine or otherwise affect the individual social preference. Facebook has only environment it is each user understands and decide how they want to use it yourself.
